Ben Shapiro and Tim Kennedy join host Stephen Crowder on the show to talk about racism in China, the NFL, and much, much more! Not Gay Jarred is brought to you by Restless Strelia, one of our wonderful affiliates.
00:05:13.000From what we know now, at the recording of this broadcast, and she did full-line sucker punch somebody, and then someone pepper sprayed her.
00:05:19.000So, it's just ugliness all around, all around the world, all across the American political spectrum.
00:05:26.000You know, in this studio, thank God you people never actually have to set foot in this studio.
00:05:32.000The immune system that we both have, not Gay Jared and I, and living in such close proximity with each other, we would be marvels of science.
00:05:40.000If you could just take a skin graft and put it in a Petri dish.
00:05:43.000The first thing I wanted to lead with, though, is Obamacare.
00:05:48.000Now, we've been talking about this for a long time.
00:05:49.000I hate to do the I told you so, but I love doing the I told you so.
00:05:53.000So a new report came out, and this also ties into Ted Cruz, who was on with Jimmy Kimmel, we'll talk about later, where I have a quote right here.
00:06:01.000Obamacare enrollees are sicker than those covered before the law.
00:06:05.000Backers see this as good news because it means those needing coverage are getting it, but it's actually a sign of an impending death spiral, not a good sign.
00:06:13.000A new report from Blue Cross Blue Shield finds that those who signed up for Obamacare in 2014 and 2015 had higher rates of various diseases and used significantly more medical services in their first year of coverage.
00:06:27.000They go on to say, but to work, Obamacare had to bring in young and healthy people to offset the costs of the older and sicker to keep insurance premiums down.
00:06:34.000Otherwise, the market would enter into a death spiral where high premiums with more healthy people would drive healthy people out of the market, pushing rates up further.
00:06:39.000This is exactly what's happened where Obamacare has been implemented.
00:08:31.000We know that if we charge this amount, we'll have enough people, and most of them will not use their deductible, therefore we will make X amount of profit.
00:08:37.000That's how their business model works.
00:09:07.000So saying we didn't account for this and that government says, well, you can't deny these people for preexisting conditions.
00:09:13.000Now, I understand that a lot of insurance companies were denying people for pre, you know, like, well, listen, you cracked, your knuckles are cracking, we can't accept you.
00:09:20.000I understand that, and insurance companies are terrible.
00:09:22.000This entire law was a big kickback to the insurance companies.
00:09:56.000And just like we talked about, John Stossel talked about this, when you have insurance and now you have a lot of young people who get the subsidized insurance, you get whatever you want.
00:10:05.000Like you're saying, sick people, but they're using a bunch of services that maybe they don't even need.
00:11:15.000Here's how I'm going to fix it for you.
00:11:17.000Because, you know, this hero worship with politics.
00:11:19.000Well, it's the same thing with the, you know, the jobs are doing great, the economy's booming, but Wall Street's really screwing people right now, and no one's getting any money.
00:11:28.000It's rigged and going downhill when they want to go downhill, and it's going uphill when it benefits them for the reports.
00:11:56.000Everybody was kung fu fighting Those kids were fast as lightning In fact, it was a little bit frightening But they fought with expert timing This
00:12:27.000is Breaking News and Louder with Crowder.
00:16:10.000Okay, before we get to Zuckerberg ISIS, we're going to have Shapiro on next because there's been a development in Donald Trump-Michelle Field's situation.
00:16:16.000I know people are all on different sides of that, and I'll try and hold Ben's feet to the fire and get to the bottom of it and see what the truth is.
00:16:24.000Yeah, listen, I'm not a Trump guy, and Ben and I have known each other for a long time.
00:16:28.000I think that this has been mishandled by all sides.
00:16:31.000So we'll try and be fair, but I know many of you will still bitch that it's not fair.
00:16:35.000One thing I want to talk about before we get into all this news is the idea, and you talked about this, justice versus equality is very important.
00:16:43.000I think a lot of people don't understand.
00:17:36.000And a lot of people say, well, what do you mean by that?
00:17:38.000Listen, I certainly think that as a society it is much more, well, not much more important, it's pivotal that we place importance on justice, not fairness.
00:19:59.000It places a lot more burden on the person who's telling the truth, on the person who's not breaking the law, whether it's someone abusing welfare, tweeting, bitching about how they need their fair share from their smartphone while they have welfare.
00:20:10.000By the way, if you're on welfare, okay, and you're using it and you're tweeting, you should be put on mute.
00:20:31.000When you just talk about fairness and feelings and making sure that everybody leaves feeling good, the successful person, the person who didn't commit the wrong, ends up getting screwed.
00:20:56.000And that's something that millennials need to understand.
00:20:58.000That's something that anyone out there needs to understand.
00:21:00.000Fairness and justice are not the same thing.
00:21:02.000And when you play identity politics, and you play fairness, and you talk about fair share, and you throw it out without defining it, it inevitably favors the person who's willing to gain the system.
00:21:13.000They're perfectly fine with screwing the other guy as long as they gain from it.
00:25:15.000I get messages all the time, and you know this, from top people who are going, yeah, this is fractured friends, family.
00:25:20.000What's it like right now for Ben Shapiro?
00:25:23.000I mean, look, I'm used to receiving criticism, but what I'm not really used to receiving is accusations of being a leftist because I don't support a leftist like Donald Trump.
00:25:40.000So that I find, you know, troubling and upsetting.
00:25:44.000And, you know, it's never fun looking at your Twitter mentions and you have thousands and thousands of people calling you a cuckservative and a And a social justice warrior and photoshopping purple hair and a nose ring on you and all that kind of crap.
00:25:56.000I do find funny, I do respect Ben for saying this, is that he was more offended by the purple hair than all the Nazi anti-Jew propaganda.
00:27:02.000It's not my belief, but that's very different, I think, from some of the mental gymnastics required for people who claimed to be I fully agree with this.
00:27:13.000When Milo says that he doesn't think conservatism has achieved what its purpose was, if you want to admit who your man is and then say you're voting for him because of who he is, or even if you're voting for him because of who he isn't, he's not the establishment, so I want Trump.
00:27:29.000What I can't abide is if you oppose Donald Trump, then it must be because you're not a real conservative who doesn't care about the Constitution or conservatives.
00:28:00.000Well, I think liking him because he's an ass is fine.
00:28:02.000I think people liking him because they think he has a backbone is entirely misled, because I don't think Donald Trump has met an adversary that he's really taken head on.
00:28:11.000So, okay, the Michelle Field situation.
00:28:13.000Obviously, you've caught a lot of flack for this.
00:28:49.000So, people who don't understand that, I can understand why they'd say, and as someone who has been at the receiving end of full-on violent assault, very different, we know, we were on the phone when that happened, I can understand people saying, oh, this is exaggerated.
00:29:01.000Now, I think there are two components here.
00:29:03.000There's your opinion on Michelle Field, someone's opinion as to whether it was exaggerated, and there is the law and what constitutes battery and what was said.
00:29:12.000And then there's the real story here, which really has nothing to do with Michelle and has much more to do with the Trump campaign lying and smearing her.
00:29:20.000And that's really the story here, because the fact is, if Corey Lewandowski just says, shouldn't have done that, my bad, apologizes within 24 hours instead of going on Twitter and calling Michelle a liar and an attention whore, then all of this is over immediately.
00:29:33.000I mean, the reason she went and filed a police report...
00:29:36.000He said attention seeker, and all of his followers said attention whore.
00:29:40.000When you say attention seeker about a woman, everybody knows what you're talking about, essentially.
00:29:45.000And so the idea here that the Trump campaign was pushing is that this was some sort of giant conspiracy to get Trump.
00:29:52.000Which, if it was, it's the stupidest conspiracy in the history of the world.
00:29:56.000I mean, your conspiracy is that you're going to go into a press room knowing that his campaign manager is going to grab you by the arm, pull you back, that you're going to happen to bump into a reporter from the Washington Post who saw the same thing, and that his campaign manager is then going to deny it, and Trump is going to deny it, even though there are cameras on them, right?
00:30:43.000He also says he has a very good brain, which, by the way, no one with a very good brain in human history has ever said, because it makes you an idiot.
00:30:51.000But Donald Trump says about Michelle Fields that, you know, there she is.
00:31:09.000And the Secret Service looks tremendously bothered by all of this in the tape.
00:31:13.000I mean, it's not like they have training in dealing with actual threats.
00:31:17.000You need Medal of Honor winner and Normandy hero Corey Lewandowski swooping in from behind to save the Republic by pulling Michelle Fields four feet back.
00:31:24.000The key word for me, again, this is just the personal, is the from behind.
00:31:27.000Same thing with the protester, grabbing the collar from behind.
00:31:30.000He's looking at the protester and the rally, and nothing, nothing, nothing.
00:32:13.000Women don't understand the difference.
00:32:15.000I was doing this, you know, I had this surgery and I have this spinal cord injury, so I was doing these, like before the EMG tests, you know, they check, they go, okay, curl against me and press against me.
00:32:24.000And this, like, old Filipino lady who was my neurologist, she's like, oh, you're very strong.
00:32:44.000So one of the things that's been bothersome to me is the failure to even recognize the basic facts.
00:32:50.000Again, you want to make the case that Michelle made a bigger deal out of this than it was.
00:32:53.000I don't think that's fair, but that's at least a case you can make.
00:32:56.000If you want to make the case that Corey Lewandowski never touched her or that he's some sort of hero for pulling her away, that's just stupid.
00:33:02.000And you're saying the tape exonerates your man?
00:33:04.000No, the tape shows exactly what Michelle said it showed.
00:33:07.000And by the way, she went silent for 24 hours after this happened.
00:33:10.000Jimmy Weinstein tweeted that she went silent for well over 24 hours after this happened.
00:33:14.000I talked with her the night after it happened, and I encouraged her because of all the flack she was getting to go file a police report the next morning.
00:33:22.000It was only after the Trump people started pushing her Well, if it's so real, if it really happened, why don't you go file a police report?
00:33:55.000And the part of this that's so ridiculous is that Trump actually goes out there and he exaggerates what Fields originally said in order to claim that she exaggerated it, right?
00:34:16.000And Corey Lewandowski absolutely lied about her claim, and they lied about her not being there and not meeting her.
00:34:20.000And the only reason I say that is because having seriously faced violent assault, having been a part of it, you know, you see it all the time, whether someone shows up at a college and kids yell and scream hate speech and they classify it as assault and people build these things up.
00:34:33.000Like, for me, I've always tried to mitigate it because I just want to do comedy.
00:34:37.000So I don't want to be a part of that culture.
00:34:39.000I'm not saying Michelle Fields did it intentionally.
00:35:32.000They were deeply out to get Donald Trump.
00:35:34.000I mean, if you viewed Breitbart at any time in recent history...
00:35:37.000This is probably the most absurd part of the whole conspiracy theory, is that Michelle was, as hired by Breitbart, again, Breitbart, was deeply out to get Donald Trump, right?
00:35:48.000Well, I think actually, if we're being fair, Breitbart, I understand Breitbart the trademark, but I think Breitbart the man probably would have been out to get Donald Trump.
00:35:57.000Okay, first of all, I think Breitbart the man would have flown down to Florida and confronted Lewandowski and Trump about this whole thing the day after.
00:36:11.000I mean, one of the things that's so ridiculous is people are acting like Michelle originally claimed that Corey Lewandowski grabbed a crowbar and hit her in the head or something.
00:36:20.000What she claimed is that he grabbed her, yanked her back, pulled her toward the ground.
00:36:23.000She lost her balance momentarily and regained it.
00:36:25.000And then when she said on Megyn Kelly's show, I think it was Thursday night, when she said on Megyn Kelly's show that this had been the worst trauma of her life, she didn't mean the physical.
00:36:35.000She meant a massive national campaign coming after her and trying to smear her as somebody who is just making things up in order to get Donald Trump.
00:36:47.000Michelle ended up quitting Breitbart over this, and she doesn't have another job yet.
00:36:51.000So, you know, the idea that she was doing all of this because she was desperate for another job or because she wanted more pay.
00:36:57.000I mean, there's a report today from The Blaze.
00:36:59.000I've been pushing her to go on TV and defend herself because Trump is, again, calling her a liar and presumably an ISIS assassin with her magic pen bomb.
00:37:30.000She texted to the Blaze, to an article from the Blaze, that points out that she has now had to abandon her apartment because they accidentally published her.
00:37:39.000We have to go to a break, but I want to bring you back.
00:39:11.000Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, at S Crowder where I'm tweeting all day long I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
00:39:40.000You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
00:39:43.000Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
00:39:48.000So listen, it's free, you get to be entertained, and you can chime in.
00:39:51.000Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets, and maybe you'll be lucky enough, and I mean lucky enough, because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine, to have your tweet to me, or not Gay Jared, included in our rockinest tweet of the week.
00:40:07.000So follow me on Twitter, at escrowder.
00:41:18.000Well, no, it wasn't even the Trump, just the Israel thing.
00:41:20.000Like, I turned to Jared, and I've turned to Jared several times ago, like, because, you know, I don't really get particularly offended, but I go, man, like...
00:41:26.000It's got to be rough for a guy like Ben Shapiro to literally go into his timeline and see Nazi propaganda.
00:42:50.000Okay, so we want to wrap up the Michelle Fields thing.
00:42:53.000I think there's room for people to be critical, but Like you said, my problem is someone can say, well, she exaggerated, and the arguments when I say that are usually based on the lie, that she said she was thrown to the ground, which she didn't.
00:43:08.000I mean, Michelle Fields, regardless of one's feelings, her statement never changed.
00:43:25.000That's brilliant because that is within the realm of reason.
00:43:28.000As people who have been long-term conservatives, you know that the media can be out and they can target people regardless of the truth.
00:43:33.000And if you hear the false claims, not the actual claims, if you don't read the statements, you can believe, well, if she said she was thrown to the ground and it's no surprise that Washington Post would back her up, it's easy to buy in.
00:43:45.000Well, this is the part about the Trump campaign that I really find despicable, is they just put out these waves of lies that are almost undebunkable, meaning because they're so large.
00:43:54.000So yesterday, Donald Trump was on MSNBC, and he actually said that Michelle Fields was fired from Breitbart.
00:44:11.000The whole thing is really absurd, but Because Trump is lying all the time and because his believers refuse to believe that he's lying even half the time, they just take what he's saying for granted.
00:44:21.000And he operates, as you say, in this very safe space for him, which is no matter what I say, it can't be debunked because the only people who are there to debunk it are the media you don't trust.
00:44:35.000The media has been horrible for 30 years, and so what you end up with is a guy, well, really, 70 years, and you end up with a guy like Trump who just says, I'm going to lie as openly and as blatantly as possible, and I'm going to dare you to debunk me because no one trusts you.
00:44:48.000I don't know that he's proactively lying, just like he had never thought of abortion.
00:44:54.000I think he just says things and refuses to apologize, and then if it happens to be untrue, he has to continue with it.
00:45:43.000The whole wife thing, it seems like...
00:45:46.000Okay, where do you think, regardless of what happens here...
00:45:49.000By the way, I don't think, you know, whether she's a decent woman or not, the beginning of the relationship was not particularly decent, if you read about that.
00:45:56.000He was married at the time, and she was having an affair with him, and she was going on Howard Stern and talking in extreme detail about their sex life while posing nude on the cover of magazines.
00:46:17.000And presumably at some point there will be a fourth wife where he upgrades and, you know, has an affair with her while he's married to this one based on prior precedent.
00:46:23.000Well, you know what I don't understand with the wife thing?
00:46:25.000Regardless of where you line up politically, Heidi Cruz is an attractive, you know, she's older than me, but she's an attractive older woman.
00:49:04.000I don't know a whole lot about the two Jarrods and the gay Jarrods and where's the pitch and the catcher and who's doing the pudding pap and who's doing...
00:49:12.000I don't know about that, but I do know how to help relationship advice.
00:49:22.000And then you're going to want to get yourself some coffee, maybe like the mocha, the vanilla, get yourself some of the flavoring to cover it up, but it's very important.
00:49:34.000Gotta remember that he cannot be looking when you put the drugs in his coffee or you're gonna have a problem.
00:49:43.000What you do is maybe you say, hey, I'm gonna make him some special coffee.
00:49:49.000It might be a good idea for you to maybe first go to the proxy, make the pre-pee, and then you drug him or then you're gonna have the bread.
00:49:57.000This has been your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.
00:52:00.000I don't know if it's San Francisco College.
00:52:02.000You know, you can get those things wrong.
00:52:04.000Somewhere where you legally have to pay for someone else's Lorena Bobbitt penis.
00:52:11.000Somewhere in that vicinity, this happened.
00:52:15.000So we were talking about this earlier.
00:52:17.000And it's gone viral, and a lot of people just aren't aware as to how bad things have gotten on college campus.
00:52:24.000So, Jared, you can bring up my screen.
00:52:25.000This woman who you see, the sideshow Bob hairdo-looking character, is, for those listening terrestrially, we're doing this in the livestream, I will try and create this in the theater of your mind to describe it for you.
00:52:38.000She's looking aggressively at this white kid.
00:52:41.000Granted, I look at him, and I would like to, you know, stuff him in a locker, but that's not...
00:55:14.000It's kind of like the pepper spray story that we'll get to.
00:55:18.000The pepper spray story that happened at a Trump rally.
00:55:21.000If you didn't see, if this video didn't exist, and this is most cases, right, in the United States, the story would be white student assaults female black employee.
00:55:34.000And she would have made it a racial thing and probably gone on the talk show circuit and say, yeah, it's really hard to be a black woman on campus.
00:55:41.000What was us being put there with all the quotas with our grades not even being high enough?
00:55:49.000That would have been the story that you heard.
00:55:51.000Kind of like the Congressman Clyburn situation when Andrew Breitbart was alive and he claimed he was called the N-word and it didn't happen.
00:55:57.000There was more footage than you could watch in a lifetime from every possible angle.
00:58:43.000In this case, she's saying it's racist.
00:58:45.000It's cultural appropriation because white people can't wear cornrows.
00:58:49.000A white guy wearing cornrows is racist because only black people are allowed to wear cornrows.
00:58:55.000If you can't see that that worldview is ironically incredibly racist, I want you to do me a favor.
00:59:01.000I want you to, right now, find your own quiet space where you can take some time to think, meditate if you need to, and throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:59:09.000I need you to throw yourself off of a rooftop if you believe that a white person wearing cornrows...
00:59:16.000If you want to compare that, and these people do, to slavery, if you want to compare that to the civil rights struggle, the only productive thing you can do is throw yourself off the roof.
00:59:32.000If that's the case, okay, then, you know, black people can't do a lot of things, right?
00:59:38.000Friends, Seinfeld, a lot of movies, right?
00:59:43.000You know, I guess you got Tyler Perry going on, but there are a lot of things out there that black Americans take part in that were created by white people.
01:00:07.000Remember how it was considered such progress when hip-hop hit the mainstream?
01:00:13.000Even if you haven't seen that documentary, not the documentary, but the auto, I don't know if you call it a biographical film on Run DMC. Was it Run DMC or was it Public Enemy?
01:00:20.000Was it Run DMC? I think it was Run DMC. Run DMC. It was considered a breakthrough.
01:00:25.000Look, black Americans are just as popular.
01:00:38.000And they were open to people of any race or culture provided they were American.
01:00:42.000And they were contributing to American culture.
01:00:44.000It was considered a really good thing.
01:00:47.000When people like Run DMC or Kids Into the Sears, LL Cool J, Flava Flav, obviously, I know these aren't prime examples, but my point is it was considered a victory back then.
01:00:57.000Now that is considered racism because white people would be co-opting them.
01:01:01.000You should apparently feel guilty if you're a white person and you like hip-hop, let alone blues or rock and roll or soul food in the United States.
01:01:10.000Apparently the appreciation of anyone else's culture is considered racist.
01:01:15.000By the way, you know who's the worst offender?
01:05:18.000Fruitarian, for those of you who don't know, is when you don't even eat vegetables.
01:05:21.000You only eat fruit that has fallen from the tree because the tree has willingly given you its fruit in order to spread its seed, and that's the only way to live harmoniously with nature.
01:05:28.000This is the genius that produced the iPhone.
01:05:31.000It's also the kind of crazy that has Freud shuffling papers in his grave saying, I don't even have a fill out sheet for this.
01:05:41.000So the Facebook founder said atrocities in Belgium, Pakistan, and Turkey were all designed to sow seeds of hatred between different communities.
01:05:47.000Mark Zuckerberg said each of these attackers were carried out with a goal to spread fear and distrust and turn members of a community against each other.
01:05:55.000The only sustainable way to fight back, he said, against the sickening attacks is to create a world where everyone feels cared for and loved.
01:06:50.000Doesn't mean he knows anything about foreign policy.
01:06:52.000Now, something else, this is a guy who has attended censorship summits.
01:06:56.000This is a guy who has openly supported removing people from Facebook who have dissenting viewpoints, be it on the refugee situation, be it on far leftism, or if they believe in the Second Amendment.
01:07:07.000So, it's important to note that this is his worldview.
01:07:09.000He's going to try and create a world where people feel loved.
01:09:25.000These aren't bastions of far right-wing neocons.
01:09:30.000These are the tolerant democratic socialists, to use Bernie's term, utopias, to whom the left has been pointing for decades of how the United States is supposed to be.
01:10:02.000Prime Minister of Germany, and you both, you said into a live microphone, Zuckerberg said into a live microphone that, yeah, listen, we'll make sure that these anti-Syrian refugee stuff, we'll make sure to prune that from Facebook.
01:10:13.000And a live microphone said, we're going to remove this.
01:10:15.000We're only going to keep one point of view in people's newsfeed.
01:10:35.000These are people who don't live in reality.
01:10:37.000Again, that goes back to the worldview of federalism, constitutionalism, conservatism, free enterprise versus socialism, centralized power.
01:10:44.000At some point, you have to account for human nature.
01:10:47.000At some point, you have to accept, do you believe that evil exists?
01:14:37.000And I know, listen, you're an intellectual, too.
01:14:38.000People are going to think, well, he wants all guys to fight.
01:14:39.000No, no, that's not it, and so I want to give you the floor.
01:14:44.000Yeah, I think it's just like the current state of where we are as a society has become more and more pathetic.
01:14:52.000We've lost sight of who we were, where we came from, and how we could continue to be the most successful and powerful nation on the planet.
01:16:07.000From Ranger School to Special Forces, ODAs, Civil Affairs, Psych Ops, all of these different what were very specialized units are now going to have to not try to make it happen.
01:16:25.000They're going to have to figure out how to accommodate women coming into those units.
01:16:51.000They're coming to the Marines, but they're going to lower standards.
01:16:53.000Okay, so that's a roundabout way of saying no, because there are not many women.
01:16:56.000You'd have very few women who can meet those standards.
01:16:58.000Yeah, but if they can, then they deserve to be there.
01:17:02.000That's true, although we did have someone who was a sergeant in the Marines, Sergeant Catherine Kaman, and she is very much against it, she said, because it would change the dynamic in mixed squads.
01:17:11.000She said men would inherently feel more protective of them, they would treat them in a way they wouldn't treat men.
01:17:16.000This was a woman who said this, which was honestly something I hadn't even thought of before beyond the physical.
01:17:22.000It would change the chemistry of any unit, any platoon, any squad, any ODA, but I don't know if that's going to be for the worse, and we're not going to know until it's done.
01:17:33.000We know that's been successfully done in Israel, for instance, and their combat units that have mixed gender are very efficient.
01:18:20.000Because I obviously don't like the left, but last time you were on, I think you said you weren't really thrilled with anyone in the Republican Party either.
01:18:31.000So while we have a statistical, narcissistic...
01:18:36.000You know, possibly pretty corrupt business guy, and then I think to be a felon, a criminal, you know, borderline on lying murderer as a secretary of state, as our other option.
01:19:18.000Yeah, I mean, although Rand Paul's foreign policy was a disaster, he and his father just seemed to not understand that the kind of one significant thing that the government needs to do is have a strong deterrent presence in the military.
01:19:36.000And they're like, oh, no, no, we'll just shrink everything to include all forms of government, including the military.
01:21:01.000The problem with that, though, is, I mean, I understand it, but the two-party system is closer to perfect than, like, a parliamentary system.
01:21:09.000And I say that because in Canada, you can have a guy who wins with 30% of the vote.
01:21:13.000And that's kind of why we have the Electoral College, right?
01:21:17.000And some people would argue, you know, brokered convention, contested convention, there's some murky rules there, but...
01:21:23.000Some people can argue, well, a guy doesn't get over that 30% hump.
01:21:26.000Should he really represent the whole Republican Party just because it's been fractured?
01:21:30.000So the two-party system isn't good, but if you kind of see what's happening with the Republican primaries, how no one can even get half the vote, that's what happens in a system with more than two parties in a general.
01:29:36.000Killing O'Reilly is going to be in there at some point.
01:29:38.000That's when he wants to do the Andy Kaufman.
01:29:40.000So, okay, you're talking about the fighting, UFC fights.
01:29:43.000A lot of people out there don't necessarily follow this.
01:29:46.000Yeah, I know you're ranked now behind Bisping and Silva, and you beat the brakes off Bisping, to be fair, but I'm sure you can accept that some of that is due to inactivity.
01:29:59.000Except that how anybody could think I would lose to Michael Bisping now, even though I've already beaten him and I've gotten better, or to Anderson Silva, who stylistically I would be the worst matchup, I think, in the entire division for him.
01:30:15.000I don't think rankings are based on that, though.
01:31:35.000Well, he said people, he was very classy about it.
01:31:38.000For those of you who don't know, he's basically the Howard Cosell of MMA. Ariel Helwani, I actually know him because, funny enough, I met him at a jiu-jitsu gym when I was living in New York, and he came in, and at this point no one knew who he was.
01:31:48.000He's been covering mixed martial arts as sport for a long time.
01:31:51.000A lot of you would be surprised at how reasonable he is with politics, too, coming from Montreal.
01:31:56.000And he covered the UFC back when nobody did.
01:31:59.000He has the biggest MMA program, and he worked on Fox for a while.
01:32:03.000Well, the rumors were, and he didn't shut them down, he was very diplomatic about it, was that as some fighters are leaving the UFC right now, and he was covering like Rory McDonald and Benson Anderson, the free agency.
01:32:15.000And he did say, Fox called him with a two-minute phone call and said, you're gone.
01:32:43.000So I've been kind of disconnected, and when I get Wi-Fi, I'll send my wife a photo and be like, hey, throw this on a social media of some form.
01:33:19.000And I was cutting weight one time, and I was just being a dick.
01:33:23.000And I was a dick to him, and then that's what I remembered.
01:33:26.000So for like a year, I was like, dude, I hate this dude.
01:33:29.000And over the course of like the past four years, just watching him and reading him and seeing how he is as a journalist, I had what ended up being like a profound...
01:34:26.000Yes, he really is, which is rare in the sport.
01:34:29.000Yeah, well, it's tough because you get your credentials denied, and a lot of people used to say he was a UFC shill, but he's been very fair in his coverage, and he hasn't thrown anybody under the bus, but I thought you might have some opinions on that because of, like you said, the journalism in MMA is very controlled, and it's a private organization.
01:34:44.000They have the right to do that, unlike the National Football League.
01:34:49.000You know, it's not really a sports organization.
01:41:29.000Why would you act on something if you thought?
01:41:31.000Why would I have an opinion if I thought, what am I going to have an opinion that I think is wrong?
01:41:34.000I'm going to hold up fast to this really wrong opinion.
01:41:36.000It doesn't mean that I can't be wrong, but naturally everyone's going to think they're right until proven wrong, and then you concede that territory.
01:41:44.000I don't understand that you always think you're right.
01:41:47.000Yeah, I guess that sounds about correct.
01:41:51.000Islam is the one that is blowing up people in record numbers.
01:41:54.000Islam is the one that can't play nice with anybody else.
01:41:56.000It's kind of like one of those fish tanks.
01:41:58.000You have all of those different fish, and you can have your guppies, you can have your goldfish, but then you have those little fish that look like they have the Cirque du Soleil sashes as they swim through, and they eat all the other fish.
01:42:09.000It doesn't matter if all the other fish want peace.
01:42:11.000That one's going to eat the other fish, and it happens.
01:42:34.000So I put a ban on my fish tank on all the fish with the cheeks and the things that look like Olympic ribbons.
01:42:42.000Islam is the one religion that is a problem, and leftists want to throw them all in, and they like to appease Islam because, of course, political correctness is basically the people killed in terrorist attacks are sacrifices from the left at the altar of political correctness.
01:43:03.000It's not like a school shooting where people had no idea.
01:43:06.000Some guy went nuts like the Kalamazoo shooter where people legitimately had no idea he thought Satan was talking to him through his Uber app.
01:43:12.000They can say, we did not see this coming.
01:43:14.000You can't say that with a guy who joins ISIS. You can't say that with a guy who says, maybe Sharia law.
01:44:17.000You can blame the violence on an ideology that expressly calls across the board for violence, and people are following that in record numbers.
01:46:31.000Historically, Islam is not responsible for a lot of judicial practices or systems of law that any person in the modern world would be proud of.
01:46:39.000I do think that as a Christian, one can be proud of the Constitution, which was expressly created around the central tenets of the Christian faith.
01:47:54.000You may think it's entirely imaginary, and I have to leave room for the fact that you may be correct.
01:47:59.000But in a purely physical sense, it is inaccurate to say religion is the cause of all wars, religion hasn't created anything, it's only destroyed, and it's very intellectually dishonest.
01:48:11.000Assuming you've read up on any religion at all, assuming you've read your Quran even five pages in any direction, it's woefully intellectually disingenuous to say, well, Christianity is no better than Islam.
01:48:39.000But Courtney and I did write this article and it went up and there were a lot of reactions.
01:48:44.000And I think that a lot of people just buy this wholesale because they believe what their professors tell them.
01:48:49.000And they don't do a little bit of digging for themselves.
01:48:52.000It's not to say that there haven't been some horrible acts committed in the name of many religions.
01:48:56.000The difference is Islam historically has been spread through violence and the sword, and there haven't really been moments of peace globally with Islam.
01:52:44.000Join us next week for more in Cultural Appropriation. .
01:52:56.000Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, where I'm tweeting all day long.
01:53:07.000I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
01:53:09.000You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
01:53:11.000Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
01:53:18.000You get to be entertained and you can chime in.
01:53:20.000Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets and maybe you'll be lucky enough.
01:53:25.000And I mean lucky enough because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine to have your tweet to me or not gay Jared included in our rockinest tweet of the week.
01:54:40.000So, we talked about a few things earlier.
01:54:42.000We had a video that went up this morning, and I wanted to talk about it because when we did this video, it was like 30 minutes, right, Natke, Jared, before we cut it down?
01:55:50.000But right now, Bernie is the movement candidate.
01:55:52.000Hillary will win probably because of the way the system operates and the superdelegates go.
01:55:58.000Now, keep in mind, I think at this point in the last election, Hillary was a deadlock, and the superdelegates, a lot of them went the other way with Barack Obama.
01:56:05.000Highly unlikely with Bernie because he's been more of an outcast, whereas Barack Obama wasn't unknown.
01:56:12.000I don't think Bernie has that many friends in the Democratic Party compared to Barack Obama.
01:56:17.000So it's very likely that it goes to Hillary Clinton because democracy.
01:56:20.000It's nothing but superdelegates who pick the nominee.
01:56:23.000But the reason we focus on Bernie Sanders is because, obviously, as a younger American, under 30...
01:56:30.000He's the guy who people are really looking to.
01:56:33.000He's more popular than Barack Obama in a lot of ways.
01:57:13.000But for the first time in a recent poll, younger Cuban Americans, it's flipped, where 57% of them, I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, have a positive view of socialism.
01:57:40.000She talked about her parents had an unfavorable view of socialized medicine, came from Canada, and she just couldn't grasp why they were so turned off by it.
01:57:49.000And they're like, oh, you've spent your entire life in America.
01:58:10.000Another study that came out, another poll that came out, you have kids who have something over 50%.
01:58:15.000So numbers were always between 50 and 60.
01:58:17.000Over 50% of people aged 35 and younger had a favorable view of socialism and said they would be willing to vote for someone who was self-defined as a socialist.
01:58:27.000When asked if they were willing to pay higher taxes, however, that number flipped.
01:59:19.000So to give you an example, under Bernie's plan, the additional tax burden on someone or a household making $50,000 a year, $50,000, a very far cry from the top.1% or 1% or 10%, unless you're talking globally, then you are in the top 10%.
01:59:35.000$50,000 a year, you will be paying over $5,000 more than what you're paying currently under a Bernie Sanders plan.
01:59:44.000Contrast that with Ted Cruz, where it would be $2,000 less.
01:59:48.000And Donald Trump, I think over $3,000 less.
01:59:51.000Hillary Clinton was about the same with $65 more.
01:59:54.000Now, if you make up to a million, you'll be paying $160,000 more with Bernie Sanders.
02:00:00.000So people see that number, but they don't understand, yeah, if you're making $50,000, you'll pay $5,000 more.
02:00:06.000And what people don't tell you with the Bernie Sanders plan, this democratic socialism, is the 6% payroll tax, which will be passed on to consumers, the mandatory health care tax.
02:00:16.000Something that's really important, we talk about democratic socialism.
02:00:19.000We have all the numbers in this video and we talk about why it doesn't work, how it implodes.
02:00:22.000But there is a very, very important ethical component here.
02:00:29.000Healthcare and school needs to be a human right.
02:00:36.000Okay, what if I choose not to go to school?
02:00:40.000What if I choose not to go to college?
02:00:41.000What if I choose instead to take one of those high-paying, skilled trade jobs, like Mike Rowe talks about, and start my own business and make a good income?
02:00:50.000But I chose not to go to school as a business decision.
02:00:53.000What is moral about taking my money and forcing me to pay for someone's eight-year gender studies degree?
02:01:03.000What if I want to pay bare minimum health care insurance, high deductible, catastrophic, and have an HSA? How is it ethical for you to say, no, you made this decision, but we're going to charge you anyway, and we're going to do it at gunpoint.
02:05:58.000Even if you're a socialist and you're working and you're providing for yourself, if you still believe that other men or other people should pay for other people, even if you're working, you're still not a man.
02:06:10.000So the column that I wrote tonight was Millennials, this love with socialism, this infatuation they have with socialism is going to unwind America.
02:06:21.000The reason that is American exceptionalism, the reason we're exceptional, it's not because we think...
02:06:27.000Americans are better than everyone else, though.
02:06:30.000Parentheses, I was going to say, parentheses, we are.
02:06:33.000But it's because our country was founded on the notion that man is free, that people are free to make their own choices, they're free to lead their own lives.
02:06:41.000Socialism comes in and says, no, you're really not.
02:07:42.000American culture is a set of ideals, and those ideals included the rejection of a big centralized government, whether it be through a monarchy, which paved the way, of course, for basically European socialism.
02:07:53.000I don't understand why people can't accept that America is the only country that does this.
02:07:58.000Well, you don't have a problem when Mexico is the only country that does this.
02:08:00.000You don't have a problem when Sweden is the only country that does this.
02:08:03.000You don't have a problem when Nicaragua is the only country.
02:08:05.000Why is it a problem when the United States is the only one to do it?
02:08:08.000Is it just because we kick ass and take names?
02:08:12.000We're the only one who's landed on the moon.
02:08:15.000We're the only country who's probably going to cure cancer.
02:08:18.000We're the only country who's done a lot of things, and maybe it's because we don't have these stupid socialist programs for ninnies who can't take care of themselves.
02:08:27.000I think what we have now, people who don't know how to take care of themselves, and as soon as they learn, as soon as they start paying for themselves, they don't want to pay for everyone else who decides, you know...
02:09:20.000Do you think it'll fix itself, though?
02:09:22.000I mean, listen, you look at the baby boomers, and that was a switch.
02:09:24.000You had the pot-smoking hippies, who then became one of the most conservative generations ever, which, of course, is bemoaned by the writers, the staff writers at HuffPo.
02:09:33.000It seems like now these Bernie Sanders kids are just the San Francisco retreads.
02:09:37.000Do you think as they get skin in the game, they'll just become more conservative?
02:10:59.000I was like, no, I don't need to explain it.
02:11:00.000He goes, what he is trying to say is, I have had sex with women who are not my wife, but I am not currently under this table while he was in the stand.
02:12:10.000Well, sure, but they could have gone that way with this series, which is funny because the next one they're supposed to talk about, the next season is supposed to be on Katrina, and it's called American Crime Series.
02:12:22.000So you know what angle they're taking with that one.
02:12:24.000You know who is the villain of Katrina.
02:12:26.000Why don't we have courtroom if we're just going to talk?
02:15:29.000My grandparents live on the water in Florida with gators literally in their backyard, and they've had neighbors eating because they got too friendly and fed the gators over and over and over again.
02:16:12.000No, but I think it's a good point, and I hope people do read it.
02:16:14.000It is a column that I think a lot of people need to read, and there's a lot of information in there.
02:16:18.000And like we've talked about, this is kind of a movement among millennials right now that I think a lot of older people aren't aware just how comfortable they are with full-fledged socialism.
02:16:29.000Yeah, and we also, you know what, we also are a generation where we have the Mark Zuckerbergs, who is two weeks younger than me, so hashtag perspective, hashtag I suck.
02:16:40.000So we have people who are our age who are billionaires, and we look at that and we go, God, that would be nice.
02:20:27.000It may have been on the show about a year ago, and I don't know if it was Madison, Washington, it was one of the founding fathers, somewhere back there.
02:21:20.000Of what is required for a man to succeed, particularly excellence.
02:21:25.000And Teddy Roosevelt wrote a lot about this.
02:21:27.000I know he sort of expanded government to a level with which I wasn't comfortable.
02:21:30.000But personally, a fascinating, fascinating character in history.
02:21:35.000The idea that a man needs to be equipped needs to be capable needs to be adept in all areas But absolutely fantastic in one is how you succeed, is what is necessary to be a completed man.
02:21:49.000So it's one thing, if you're an intellectual, yeah, you still need to be able to do some push-ups.
02:21:53.000You still need to be able to clean up around the house.
02:21:57.000You still need to be able to survive, right?
02:21:59.000If you're a great soldier, you still need to be able to read books.
02:22:03.000You still need to be able to process information.
02:22:05.000You still need to be able to communicate effectively.
02:22:08.000But, everyone has an area where they are specialized.
02:22:12.000And that's one thing I think people have done a disservice.
02:22:13.000Courtney just said it, but I know what she meant.
02:22:15.000The idea that you can do anything you put your mind to.
02:22:35.000And you certainly won't hear that from the left.
02:22:38.000The idea that anyone has a divine purpose or that people were put on this earth or designed for one specific thing, it runs entirely counter to the idea of socialism and the collective.
02:22:50.000Ironically, it comes back around with extreme communism, right?
02:22:52.000If you're born in China and you have the right body dimensions, You're going to be on the Olympic gymnastics team.
02:23:00.000Don't expect a monthly cycle until you're 14, because they're going to keep your weight down and tie up your toes.
02:23:16.000But the idea of socialism, that everyone takes part, that people should be equal.
02:23:20.000Same thing, I was just speaking at American University.
02:23:23.000They weren't allowed to play touch football.
02:23:24.000That was an event for the club, and they said it was too competitive.
02:23:28.000That is anti, not only anti-American exceptionalism, that is anti, I guess, deism for anyone who believes that you have some kind of a purpose.
02:23:36.000So you can do anything you put your mind to, but here's what's important.
02:23:38.000And this is what's lost in the self-esteem generation.
02:23:51.000He was designed in a way that is perfect, with hands the size of meat hooks and size 18 feet and long.
02:23:59.000He was designed in a way where he would be the best regardless.
02:24:04.000He's fantastic in spite of McDonald's and smoking weed.
02:24:07.000Of course, he trained unbelievably hard.
02:24:09.000So people just see the one thing, the McDonald's, and you say, well, if it's good enough for Phelps, look, look, look, look, and they're sipping their Dr.
02:24:17.000Some of these athletes are fantastic in spite of their training, and sometimes you get that magic where someone is living in their purpose.
02:24:24.000They're in exactly what they were designed to do, where they are brilliant, where they are good, and they work really hard.
02:24:48.000And I've just had to accept, listen, no matter what I do, this person was created to do this.
02:24:54.000I'm not going to be as good at them, even if I work as hard as I can, because I know this person is also working at this like a full-time job.
02:24:59.000And that's okay, because I can find my purpose.
02:25:04.000And so I think this is what's really removed.
02:25:05.000We've talked about socialism and not only the moral and ethical aspect, but it strips humans, it strips you of the human essence.
02:25:15.000Humans have this innate desire to belong, to be productive, to be useful, and to find the way in which they can do that most effectively.
02:25:31.000And I think that's a big reason why it collapses.
02:25:33.000You can't quantify it as something intangible that can't be put on paper.
02:25:37.000But if you tell an entire nation of people you are all the same and none of you were created, none of you were fearfully and wonderfully created different from one another, so we're going to treat you the same and make everything equal, you strip them of the human spirit.
